the print edition follows one idea — the language of feeling. each month, one urdu word, one emotion and one personal story, with lahore and cultural memory never far away. this month: aarzoo, the wanting we carry quietly.

the contents change from letter to letter. that is part of receiving one.
if something in a letter stays with you, you’re welcome to write back by email. a memory, a photograph, a drawing, or a few words. there’s no need to, and i can’t promise a personal reply, but i’ll read what you choose to share, even if i can’t always write back.

dear reader,
i’m rea. somewhere between my desk in athens and wherever you are, there is a little room made for stories, memories and the things we don’t always know how to say aloud.
some arrive as words. some as little pieces of art. all are folded with care.
welcome to anar.
with warmth, rea

a note from rea.
the hand behind anar.
i’m rea, a writer and artist based in athens. my work moves between identity, memory, culture and the places we carry within us.
there are things i’ve lived that i’ve never managed to say aloud. some have stayed with me for years, waiting for somewhere to go. i began writing these letters because i wanted those parts of my life to exist somewhere beyond me, perhaps in the hands of someone who might understand.
every letter begins with something i’ve lived, remembered, or quietly carried. i write it by hand and send it from athens, not knowing exactly where it will land. you might find something of your own life in it, or you might simply keep it. either feels right to me.
before you order
your letter is prepared by hand in athens, usually within about three to four days, then posted. delivery typically takes around two to three weeks, and international times vary. the print edition’s exact dispatch schedule is confirmed before it opens. [print edition dispatch date and monthly cut-off: to confirm.]
yes — worldwide tracked postage is included in every price (€15 the letter, €16 the print edition). we post worldwide from athens. outside the eu, local customs or import charges may occasionally apply and are the recipient’s.
yes. the letter, and a one-time print edition, can be sent straight to someone else — you add their delivery details at checkout. gifting is a one-time purchase; the monthly subscription can’t be gifted yet.
the monthly print edition is €16 each month, worldwide tracked postage included, charged automatically. a different edition arrives each month — it’s an ongoing collectible series, not a repeating box. you’ll see the exact total before you pay.
you can cancel anytime through stripe’s secure customer portal. cancelling stops future renewals from the next billing date; you keep any edition already paid for, and you’re not charged again.
every order is sent tracked. if something arrives damaged or doesn’t arrive, email me at reakaur09@gmail.com and i’ll put it right. [exact lost/damaged policy and replacement terms: to confirm.]
letters from rea is my free weekly email. little notes about what i’m writing, making, thinking and feeling, alongside updates from the studio. it’s separate from anar — no payment, just letters.
